Abstract:
Provided is a method of heat treating a die cast aluminum alloy component. A die cast component has at least one thin walled region with a thickness of ≤5 mm. The alloy has silicon at ≥6.5 mass % to ≤15.5 mass %, copper at ≥0.1 mass % to ≤3.5 mass %, magnesium at ≤0.5 mass %, manganese at ≤0.6 mass %, and chromium at ≤0.6 mass %. The method includes quenching the die cast component at a cooling rate of ≥ about 100° C./second to a first temperature of less than 50° C. and age hardening by heating the die cast component to a second temperature of ≥ about 150° C. for a predetermined duration of time to facilitate formation of particles of Mg2Si in an aluminum alloy matrix. The aluminum alloy treated by the method can form lightweight, high strength, high ductility components.

Abstract:
Described herein is mask design and modeling for a set of masks to be successively imaged to print a composite pattern on a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer. Further described herein is a method of double patterning a substrate with the set of masks. Also described herein is a method of correcting a drawn pattern of one of the mask levels based on a predicted pattern contour of the other of the mask levels. Also described herein is a method of modeling a resist profile contour for a mask level in which photoresist is applied onto a inhomogeneous substrate, as well as method of predicting a resist profile of a Boolean operation of two masks.
Abstract:
A VPN-based method for a mobile communication terminal to access data securely comprises: when a data security device is operating in the mobile communication terminal, the data security device allows the mobile communication terminal to access an intranet but inhibits the mobile communication terminal from accessing an external network; and when the data security device is not operating in the mobile communication terminal, a VPN server inhibits the mobile communication terminal from accessing the intranet. The data security device is disposed in the mobile communication terminal. The data security device cooperates with the VPN server to inhibit the user of the mobile communication terminal from sending protected files to the external network via a network when the data security device is deactivated and to inhibit applications running on the data security device from accessing networks outside the VPN resources to release the protected files to the external network.
